Al-Qabbanji Calls for Keeping Jurf al-Nasr Oil Smuggling Case Away from Political Disputes

The Friday prayer leader in Najaf, Sadr al-Din al-Qabbanji, stressed on Friday the need to keep the oil smuggling allegations in Jurf al-Nasr separate from political disputes and calculations, urging authorities to allow investigations to proceed without interference.

During his Friday sermon, Al-Qabbanji said the case remains disputed, with conflicting claims and denials, particularly following statements by the Babil governor rejecting reports of oil smuggling. He emphasized the importance of allowing the investigation to take its proper course and establish the facts away from political considerations.
